LORELAI: You know, there are very few times in my life when I find myself sitting around thinking, “I wish I was married,” but today, I mean— I’m happy, you know? I like my life. I like my friends. I like my stuff. My time, my space, my TV. […] But every now and then, just for a moment, I wish I had a partner, someone to pick up the slack. Someone to wait for the cable guy, make me coffee in the morning, meet the stupid sink before it gets sent back to Canada. […] Um.. I just thought I had everything under control, but I didn’t, and the inn is just falling apart. This has been my dream forever, and I have it, and it’s here, and I’m failing. I can’t handle it. I just spend every minute running around and working and thinking. And I thought I would have help, but Sookie has Davey, and Michel has Celine, and I’m— I can’t do it all by myself. And I don’t even have time to see my kid, and hell, forget see her, just even talk to her. And I miss her. And I sat there in my parents’ house just listening to my grandmother basically call me a charity case, and I couldn’t even argue with her. I couldn’t even say anything, because I am. I’m running out of money, and I don’t know what to do about it, and I was gonna, I was gonna ask you for $30,000 at dinner tonight. That’s how pathetic I am. […] I don’t want to talk about it now. I don’t want to think about it. I’m failing. I’m failing.
